Answer 1

Answer:

12,633 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The horizontal distance between the observer and the bird's nest is

b. 12,633 feet

What are trigonometric ratios in terms of a right-angle triangle?

We know a right-angled triangle has three sides they are -: Hypotenuse,

Opposite and Adjacent.

We can remember SOH CAH TOA which is,

sin = opposite/hypotenuse, cos = adjecen/hypotenuse and

tan = opposite/adjacent.

Given, An observer (O) spots a bird flying at a 42° angle from a line drawn horizontally to its nest.

The hypotenuse distance which is from the observer's eye to the bird's nest is 17000ft and we need the horizontal distance or the distance of the adjacent.

∴ , cos = adjecen/hypotenuse.

cos42° = adjacent/17000.

adjacent = 17000×cos42°.

adjacent = 17000×0.743.

adjacent = 12631 feet.

marissa rode her bike to the park and back home. halfway to the park, she stopped at the library. she lives 1 3/10 miles from the library. how many miles did marissa ride her bike in all?

Answers

Answer:

5 2/10 miles or 5 1/5 miles, if you need to reduce fractions

Step-by-step explanation:

The way they wrote this is kind of confusing. Home to library = 1 3/10 miles. That's halfway to the park, so the distance to the park is 1 3/10 + 1 3/10 = 2 6/10 miles.

Then she had to ride that same distance home, so add

2 6/10 + 2 6/10 = 4 12/10 = 5 2/10

If your teacher has you reduce fractions, then it's 5 1/5 miles.

The number of miles did  marissa ride her bike in all should be 5 2/10 miles or 5 1/5 miles.

Calculation of the number of miles:

Since

She lives 1 3/10 miles from the library.

So here the distance to the park should be

= 1 3/10 + 1 3/10

= 2 6/10 miles.

Now we basically add it

= 2 6/10 + 2 6/10

= 4 12/10

= 5 2/10

hence, The number of miles did  marissa ride her bike in all should be 5 2/10 miles or 5 1/5 miles.

Jenny deposits $50,000 into an account that pays simple interest at a rate of 2% per year.
Frank deposits $50,000 into an account that also pays 2% interest per year. But it is compounded annually.
Find the interest Jenny and Frank earn during each of the first three years.
Then decide who earns more interest for each year.
Assume there are no withdrawals and no additional deposits.

Answers

Answer:

Jenny will earn $ 1,000 in interest each year, while Frank will earn $ 1,000 the first year, $ 1,020 the second, and $ 1,040.40 the third.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Jenny deposited $ 50,000 into an account that pays simple interest at a rate of 2% per year and Frank deposited $ 50,000 into an account that also pays 2% interest per year but it was compounded annually, to find the interest Jenny and Frank earn during each of the first three years and decide who earns more interest for each year assuming there are no withdrawals and no additional deposits, the following calculation must be performed:

Jenny:

Year 1 = 50,000 x 1.02 = 51,000

Year 2 = 50,000 x 1.02 = 51,000 + 1,000 = 52,000

Year 3 = 50,000 x 1.02 = 51,000 + 2,000 = 53,000

Frank:

Year 1 = 50,000 x 1.02 = 51,000

Year 2 = 51,000 x 1.02 = 52,020

Year 3 = 52,000 x 1.02 = 53,060.40
